FundCalibre - Investing on the go

Investing on the go gives you direct access to the people who manage your ISA and pensions savings. Our hosts will be interviewing finance professionals on everything from their successes and failures to current ideas and insights. At meetings, before events and even if we bump into them on the street, we'll grab five minutes with these experts to discuss how your own personal finances could be impacted by topics such as US elections, the move from petrol to electric vehicles, the growth in artificial intelligence and robots, and so much more. Our ultimate goal is to bring to life the world of investments and uncover new and exciting opportunities, all while inspiring you to invest and giving you the confidence and knowledge to make the right decisions. To do this we often ask the managers why they are invested in individual companies. This is for illustration only and should not be taken as a recommendation to buy or sell that stock. The fund manager may or may not still own these companies at the time of your listening.

In this episode, we explore the structural changes reshaping global markets and why politics is only part of the story. The discussion examines how deglobalisation, higher interest rates and renewed focus on energy, defence and industrial policy are changing investment opportunities. Alec Cutler, manager of the Orbis Global Balanced and Global Cautious funds, looks beyond the headline AI winners to the companies enabling the technology revolution, he also shares why the energy transition could remain inflationary, and explores opportunities in emerging markets and fixed income. Finally, we examine how a valuation-driven investment approach helps build resilient portfolios capable of navigating changing market environments and shifting investor sentiment.
